"The Decline of the Nation-State
and the End of the Rights of Man" #AmReading a 5.7MB chapter on #Imperialism of the 27.2MB book #OriginsOfTotalitarianism by #Arendt , #HannahArendt . This one page (284) , the top paragraph and footnotes show the #NationStateSystem, as a #Kafka #ComedyOfErrors, full of legal contradiction... I #giggle while thinking of the #ignorance of world leaders but not when thinking of #refugees , the Earth's #StatelessPeople .

Worse still, the number of potentially #StatelessPeople is continually on the increase... ' #HannahArendt saying #DisplacedPersons obfuscates the core design flaws in the #NationState . Reading the pages about #EasternEurope in the #Imperialism part of #OriginsOfTotalitarianism is fasicnating. Maybe the #MiddleEaster #refugees can introduce #Ukranians #Poles to #Confederalism of #ocalan

#Arendt 's #Imperialism is part of her book #OriginsOfTotalitarianism The book is in #libgen . It's fascinating to read from page 267, to get a feel for Eastern Europe and accustomed to the names of all the groupings of people. #LewisMumford and #BertrandRussel also mention how #1914 marks the degradation of important things #freedom of movement, from #barbarism ... It seems like we've been lucky to survive over a 100 years of stupidity

Thanks for mentioning #Imperialism . #EasternEurope's situation now is reminding of #HannahArendt on the topic in #OriginsOfTotalitarianism. I'm searching for her lines about #StatelessPeople and the problem that Europe's nation-state system can't guarantee #HumanRights ( #arendt writes #RightsOfMan but we know what she really meant, thanks to #HansaMehta and #eleanorroosevelt .
